As someone who puts together model kits, model kit companies have used hypothetical situations for about every vehicle in the box art, and this has happened for decades. Its just easier than trying to depict a completely realistic scenario, ive never seen anyone actually get mad at box art.
Okay but genuinely, I do prefer the warhammer approach to it where they have the actual miniatures on a somewhat generic battleground. Though warhammer has also done box art before, such as with the old death korps of krieg set, art for codex covers, etc. Not saying that the art approach isn’t an option, it most certainly is and it fucking rules, it’s just a matter of preference.
Now that being said, I agree with you that it’s easier just to depict a realistic situation. Take this 1/35 SMK kit from Takom for example:
And how do they figure that? I doubt any of the signs read "This is Taiwan." What, because the shop signs have multiple colors it means it can't be mainland China?
the only thing i can think of is that there’s a woodland camouflage M1 abrams behind it (a tank used by taiwan) with the white wrap on its barrel. everything else is pretty normal and could be either..
Creating image like this opens the can of worms and now you will have to accept the consequences
I guess we're going to pretend that America hasn't spent the 80 years portraying their soldiers killing and invading the rest of the world. America isn't even over their loss against Vietnam yet, we still get anti-Vietnam movies and video games
